"Sundown on the Forest" is an album by the rock group Kingfish. It was recorded over a period of several years with different combinations of musicians, and released in 1999. It was the first studio album by Kingfish since "Trident" in 1978.

The various musical lineups on "Sundown on the Forest" include past and present members of Kingfish, such as Matthew Kelly, Steve Kimock, Barry Sless, Barry Flast, Mookie Siegel, Robbie Hoddinott, Jimmy Sanchez, and Ana Rizzo. A number of guest musicians and singers also perform on the album, including Jenni Muldaur, the daughter of Maria Muldaur.
